Assistance for video content searches over a communication network
A method for assisting video content searches over a communication network by a user, comprising: A step of determining a first content item (CZ) by said user; A step of automatically extracting semantic data from this first content item; A step of automatically generating queries for at least one service, as a function of semantic data, making it possible to retrieve a set of videos on this service or these services; A step of presenting that set of video content to the user.
1. A method for assisting video content searches over a communication network for a user, comprising:
receiving a first content item from said user, wherein the first content item is textual and comprises a browser or a selected portion of an e-book or a PDF file;
automatically extracting semantic data from the first content item;
automatically generating queries for at least one service, as a function of said semantic data, making it possible to retrieve a set of videos on said at least one service, wherein said at least one service is determined based on said semantic data; and
presenting said set of videos to said user,
wherein said method further comprises selecting a sub-set of videos from among said set, based on a criterion of semantic proximity between said first content and a description associated with the videos in said set.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said automatically extracting semantic data from the first content item further comprises:
extracting semantic data sentence by sentence or sentence block by sentence block;
determining refined semantic data comprising concepts;
weighting the extracted semantic data.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said method may be triggered by the selection of a first content item in a man-machine interface and by the selection of a software function accessible through said man-machine interface.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said automatically extracting semantic data comprises extracting “subject-verb-object” relationships.
5. The method according to claim 1 wherein the queries generated are constructed based on said relationships.
6. A communication terminal equipped with a processor configured to implement a method for assisting video content searches over a communication network for a user, comprising:
receiving a first content item from said user, wherein the first content item is textual and comprises a browser or a selected portion of an e-book or a PDF file;
automatically extracting semantic data from the first content item;
automatically generating queries for at least one service, as a function of said semantic data, making it possible to retrieve a set of videos on said at least one service, wherein said at least one service is determined based on said semantic data; and
presenting said set of videos to said user,
wherein said method further comprises selecting a sub-set of videos from among said set, based on a criterion of semantic proximity between said first content and a description associated with the videos in said set.
7. A non-transitory computer-usable data carrier storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute a method for assisting video content searches over a communication network for a user, comprising:
receiving a first content item from said user, wherein the first content item is textual and comprises a browser or a selected portion of an e-book or a PDF file;
automatically extracting semantic data from the first content item;
automatically generating queries for at least one service, as a function of said semantic data, making it possible to retrieve a set of videos on said at least one service, wherein said at least one service is determined based on said semantic data; and
presenting said set of videos to said user,
wherein said method further comprises selecting a sub-set of videos from among said set, based on a criterion of semantic proximity between said first content and a description associated with the videos in said set.
8. A man-machine interface for a communication terminal, equipped to enable a user to select a first content item and to make it possible to trigger:
automatically extracting semantic data from said first content item, wherein said first content item is textual and comprises a browser or a selected portion of an e-book or a PDF file;
automatically generating queries for at least one service, as a function of said semantic data, making it possible to retrieve a set of videos on said at least one service, wherein said at least one service is determined based on said semantic data;
presenting said set of videos to said user;
automatically selecting a sub-set of videos from among said set, based on a criterion of semantic proximity between said first content and a description associated with the videos in said set.
9. A method for assisting video content searches over a communication network for a user, comprising:
automatically determining a first content item for said user as a function of a displayed web page, a video being played, or the content of an email being read;
automatically extracting semantic data from said first content item;
automatically generating queries for at least one service, as a function of said semantic data, making it possible to retrieve a set of videos on said at least one service, wherein said at least one service is determined based on said semantic data;
presenting said set of videos to said user;
wherein said method further comprises automatically selecting a sub-set of videos from among said set, based on a criterion of semantic proximity between said first content and a description associated with the videos in said set.
